To Never See the Light

Heard a noise in the calm of the night opened our eyes

Seen a man with a cane he says yeah I'll pay the highest price

There was dirt in our mouths there was blood dripping from our heads

There was our mama counting all the money lying on her bed

My brother lied told me I was brave

He said you and I we're gonna be free one day

One day ok alright 'til then it ain't alright

Maybe it's best to never see the light

Maybe it's best to never see the light

Dug the fields with our hands 'til the soil it turned bone dry

Rubbed our feet on that master's back 'til he was satisfied

Whispered all the visions of the men we'd like to become

Dreamed about the day we'd find all the strength to run

My brother tried but then it was too late

Not for you he cried brother one day

One day

One day okay alright 'til then it ain't alright

Maybe it's best to never see the light

One day okay alright 'til then it ain't alright

Maybe it's best to never see the light

Maybe it's best to never see the light
